not to be a downer but...
I will never ride with a backpack because I read a couple years ago about a guy who broke his back and became a parapaligic because he was wearing a backpack with a couple of cans in it.

i'm pretty sure kneedraggers.com carries them

I took a header off a little freestyle bicycle at umm... had to be 20+ mph while I was an undergrad. Was blazing down a hill from classes and the front mag wheel disintergrated :o
Did a half roll and landed on my backpack. Ended up with a bunch of road rash, but the backpack saved my back and head from impact. Ended up melting the zippers on it 8)

Someone else on the board took a dive with a pack on, stuffed with clothes, and said that they would have been much worse off without it (sorry, I know it's a regular, but can't remember who).
Make yer own airbag.
For $160 I'd hope it'd make the best looking tank bag in the world. I ride with a messanger bag and truthfully feel naked without it.

Well I hate to revive old posts, but for some reason I was under the impression that this is much like the Icon Urban tank bag because it also converts from a tank bag into a backpack. Am I mistaken?

The backpacks that are purpose-built to be motorcycle backpacks look like a better option, though - they're evenly hard, and I'm guessing would absorb and distribute force, while a can would concentrate force in a small area. Any data out there on motorcycle hard bags?

By the by I've seen a much cooler hardbag. Here at beautiful Georgia Southern, some guy in the art department made a backpack out of a BMW M3 oilpan. He chromed it out and everything. Ok when I first saw it I was like "Wow, that's interesting", but then I found out what it was, and now I'm like, "WOW, that IS interesting!!" :)
